My father was very hard of hearing; probably deaf in his right ear, and I'm not sure how much he could hear with his left. But he died in 1971, long before today's terrific advances for the hearing impaired. He hated the hearing aides they had then, probably because there was no way to calibrate the aides to a person's individual needs. He wound up not using his much, and so he missed out on a lot. So, even though I have sound hearing, I'm really glad for the advances that benefit good folks such as you.

I sympathize with what your Dad went through...
Hearing aides used to be awful!!
Today, they plugged my hearing aides into a computer while I had them on...and the place that made them helped my audiologist calibrate them that way...
I kinda felt like the Bionic Woman!
Thanks again, for your kind words...
